The Princess Who Loves Someone She Cannot Have

Blurb One

Ji Mingyue is the most spirited and radiant young woman in the capital.

She was made a junzhu when she was little. Her father is the prime minister, her older brother has won countless battles on the field, and her older sister is the crown princess.

The Ji family holds power over the entire court, and she is its treasured darling. She has never wanted anything she could not get. Even if she wanted the moon in the sky, countless people would do their utmost to pluck it down for her.

Until that day.

The newly crowned top scholar rode through the streets in celebration. She pushed open a teahouse window to join the excitement and, on a whim, tossed the purse she wore at him. It struck the young scholar squarely on the shoulder.

The scholar looked up, revealing a handsome face. Their gazes met, and in that instant, Ji Mingyue decided she would have him.

She was fiery by nature and proud of her beauty and talent. Once she made up her mind, she acted on it, pursuing him boldly and openly, without caring what others said.

But the young scholar was always hot and cold toward her, neither accepting nor rejecting her. Whenever their flirtation reached its peak, it would vanish as cleanly as fireworks burning out.

Only later did she learn that he already had a fiancee, and that everything that had happened between them was nothing but a scheme to spare every effort for the sake of his "beloved wife."

Blurb Two

After studying hard for decades, Zhao He finally achieved his goal of entering the emperor's court.

But the capital's splendor had barely caught his eye before a beautiful young woman captured his heart.

She was straightforward, sometimes a little spoiled, incredibly strong, and had grown up surrounded by adoring admirers.

He fell in love with her at first sight. Every smile and frown of hers left him lovestruck, yet he could never tell her all he felt for her in the light of day.

And so he lost the person he loved most.
